To provide a rewritable recording system which records an image with various information incorporated in an image of a fixed format to a rewritable paper in a manner to be rewritable.

The rewritable recording system 1 sends the image in the fixed format of a program and a schedule, etc., and incorporation information to be incorporated in the fixed format as printing data from a personal computer 100 to a wide-width RP output device 200. The image is printed onto a wide-width RP 201 and displayed at the wide-width RP output device 200. In a standby mode other than a printing mode of carrying out a printing process of the image to the wide-width RP 201 at the wide-width RP output device 200, the power supply to each part is stopped or reduced, whereby a consumption amount of electricity is reduced. Providing and sharing of data to many visitors is thus enabled. At the same time, if contents of the information change, the information is quickly updated. Moreover, while the contents of information is unchanged, the consumption amount of electricity of the wide-width RP output device 200 is suppressed to a minimum.
